INTRODUCTION. 


The  present  collection  of  engraved  book- 
titles  and  frontispieces  to  books,  though  there 
are  not  a few  rare  pieces  in  it,  does  not,  of 
course,  pretend  to  completeness : it  has  no 
higher  aim  than  to  hint  at  the  pleasant  store 
of  suggestion  and  anecdote  that  will  reward 
the  student  of  these  unconsidered  trifles,  al- 
though the  artist,  or  even  the  amateur  of  en- 
graving, should  pass  them  by  with  a smile  of 
disdain. 

These  engravings,  though  often  of  extreme 
rudeness,  and  rarely  rising  to  a higher  estima- 
tion than  that  of  a neat  and  finished  mecha- 
nism, even  in  the  hands  of  a Faithorne  or  a 
Hollar,  may  be  classed  with  book-plates, 
posters,  play-bills  and  broadsides,  fans,  snuff- 
boxes, autographs,  and  the  whole  miscellany- 
lot  of  collectors’  fads — the  bric-a-brac  of  the 
Muse  of  History.  But  they  are  richer  in 
suggestion  and  in  solid  interest  than  their  com-

panions,  and  may  even  be  allowed  to  have 
in  some  cases  a mild  literary  flavor,  due  to 
their  intimate  association  with  the  books  in 
which  they  are  found : while  the  design  and 
execution,  even  when  rudest,  become  interest- 
ing and  respectable  from  their  harmony,  not 
only  with  the  domestic  arts,  but  with  the  art, 
properly  so  called,  of  the  time.  They  are 
rarely  so  dissociated  from  the  contents  of  the 
book  as  too  often  happens  with  us;  but  make 
one  with  the  printing  and  general  air,  and 
reflect  its  character.  It  sometimes  seems  as 
if  the  designer  had  worked  on  the  suggestion 
of  the  writer,  and  had  himself  become  inter- 
ested in  what  the  author  had  to  say ; so  that 
more  than  one  instance  will  be  found  in  this 
exhibit  where  the  title-page  serves  as  a sort 
of  illustrated  index  to  the  contents  of  the 
book. 

Nothing  more  has  been  attempted  at  this 
time  than  to  give  a sketch  of  what  was  done 
in  England  in  this  field  in  the  seventeenth 
century.  The  exceptions  to  the  rule  are  few; 
the  most  important  are  the  specimens  of  the 
work  of  William  Rogers,  who  was  born  in

London  about  1545,  and  who  was  the  first 
Englishman  who  is  known  to  have  practised 
copper-plate  engraving.  It  is  pleasant  to  find, 
among  the  examples  of  his  work  shown  here, 
the  portrait  of  John  Gerard,  the  author  of  the 
well-known  “ Herbal,”  with  its  coarse  but  ex- 
pressive wood-cuts,  a good  companion  to  the 
“ Essay  on  Gardens”  by  his  great  contemporary 
Bacon,  wherein  the  flowers  and  fruits  of  the 
English  year  are  so  cheerfully  and  summarily 
sketched.  The  work  of  the  later  engravers 
Faithorne  and  Marshall  is  shown  in  a collec- 
tion of  examples  that  may  fairly  be  allowed 
representative.  If  Marshall,  with  his  inferior 
technical  skill,  running  the  gamut  of  good, 
bad,  indifferent,  shall  be  found  the  more  in- 
teresting of  the  two,  it  is  perhaps  because  as 
the  portraitist-in-ordinary,  so  to  speak,  of  his 
time,  his  dullness  is  often  forgotten  in  the  in- 
terest we  take  in  his  subject.  We  thank  him 
for  having  shown  us,  even  as  in  a glass  darkly, 
the  faces  of  so  many  famous  people.  His 
well-known  portrait  of  Milton,  the  first  that 
was  published,  and  which  was  so  slyly  re- 
buked by  the  great  poet  for  its  absurd  want

INTRODUCTION. 


of  resemblance,  might  make  us  distrustful  ot 
the  artist’s  performance  in  other  cases,  but  it 
will  be  noted  that  this  portrait  of  Milton  is 
very  poorly  executed  even  for  Marshall ; 
many  of  his  other  portraits  look  truer  — have 
at  least  the  appearance  of  life,  which  this  cer- 
tainly has  not. 

The  visitor  to  this  collection,  with  an  eye 
to  the  manners  of  a past  age,  will  find  much 
to  interest,  and  even  to  amuse  him,  in  the  de- 
tails of  many  of  these  plates.  While  there  is 
great  diversity  in  the  style  and  execution, 
there  runs  through  all  of  them  what  we  may 
call  a certain  contemporaneousness  of  ex- 
pression — they  are  English,  and  English  oi 
the  seventeenth  century.  They  have  a home- 
bred — not  seldom,  as  we  may  say,  a home- 
spun  — air,  not  borrowed  from  the  art  of 
foreign  lands,  nor  recalling  foreign  models. 
For  though  we  find  reproaches  enough  and 
satirical  touches  in  English  books  of  the 
time  leveled  against  people  who  affected  for- 
eign airs  and  foreign  dress,  yet,  in  the  main, 
the  English  art  of  that  day,  in  all  its  forms, 
and  English  fashions,  held  their  own  stoutly

Vll 


as  against  the  Spanish,  French,  or  Italian  in- 
fluence. They  borrowed,  no  doubt,  but  they 
speedily  made  what  they  borrowed  their  own. 
Who  can  mistake  English  Jacobean  plate,  or 
furniture,  or  jewelry  for  that  of  any  other 
time  or  people  ? It  has  its  own  distinctive 
mark.  And  it  is  the  same  with  these  title- 
pages  and  frontispieces.  The  portraits,  the 
architectural  framing,  the  glimpses  of  house 
interiors,  with  the  dresses,  the  furniture,  and 
occupations  of  the  people,  as  seen  in  the  vig- 
nettes that  in  some  cases  border  the  titles, 
are  all  unmistakably  English.  This  is  per- 
haps more  noticeable  because,  in  the  greater 
number  of  cases,  the  engravers  of  these  plates 
were  of  foreign  birth.  Out  of  the  thirty-six 
names  represented  in  the  catalogue,  only  six- 
teen are  those  of  Englishmen;  the  rest  are 
mostly  of  Dutch  or  German  origin,  and  so 
may  be  said  to  be  of  kindred  blood.  But 
like  the  army  of  craftsmen  in  every  field  that 
swarmed  into  England  at  that  time,  they 
soon  accustomed  themselves  to  their  new  en- 
vironment, and  became  as  English  as  the 
English  themselves.

Born  1616  in  London,  died  there  in  May,  1691.  A 
very  prolific  engraver,  who  excelled  specially  in 
portraits,  which  constitute  his  chief  work.  “ Many 
of  them  are  of  an  admirable  execution,  clear,  bril- 
liant, and  full  of  color.”  Thomas  Flatman,  in  a 
a poem  in  memory  of  his  friend,  says  : — 

“ A Faithorne  sculpsit  is  a charm  can  save 
From  dull  oblivion,  and  a gaping  grave.”

Restoration)  returned  to  Paris,  where  he  died  Oct. 
30,  1681.  Was  much  employed  in  engraving  book

William  Marshall. 

Probably  the  most  prolific  of  the  early  English  en- 
gravers. “ Some  of  Marshall’s  plates  are  engraved 
with  miniature-like  delicacy  and  finish,  and  have  a 
pleasing  effect ; but  the  majority,  probably  on  ac- 
count of  the  low  rate  of  remuneration  at  which  he 
was  compelled  to  work,  are  coarse  and  unsatisfac- 
tory; the  portraits  in  Fuller’s  ‘ Holy  State  ’ 1642 
are  particularly  poor.  From  the  monotony  in  the 
style  of  his  ornaments  it  is  concluded  that  Marshall 
worked  chiefly  from  his  own  designs.”  His  many 
portraits  are  valued  on  account  of  their  scarcity  and 
historical  interest.  “ The  title-page  to  Braithwait’s 
‘ Arcadian  Princess,’  1635,  is  perhaps  the  best  of  his 
plates  of  that  class.”  His  portraits  of  Shakespeare, 
Suckling,  Milton,  Donne,  and  the  Earl  of  Stirling, 
in  a brilliant  state,  are  very  fine  and  much  sought 
for.
